Soldiers bow to the Martyrs at the government ceremony in Yangon, Myanmar, 19 July 2007 on the 60th anniversary of the assassination of the independence leader Aung San (in 1947) and six ministers and two civilians officers. As per tradition, the official ceremony was held at the Martyrs Mausoleum in the presence of the Minister of Culture and foreign and Burmese dignitaries, together with relatives of the slain leaders. However, the daughter of Aung San and leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), Aung San Suu Kyi, was not there. She has been under house arrest for years. The general's family was represented by the elder brother of the Nobel Laureate, Aung San Oo. The junta also forbade NLD members from taking part in celebrations in the capital. EPA/Law Eh Soe

I'm curious...why can't they film? Are they a danger to the operation or just an unwanted factor?

Great Photos...
RIP to the fallen
Great pictures as usual.
RIP to the fallen troops
I heard something about that Chinese cloud seeding the other day...the science seems to indicate that it doesn't have any significant effect on the chance of rain. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't--just like if you don't shoot anything into the clouds
Seems like there have been a lot of things "randomly" blowing up lately around the US...

Nice pix Lancero!
RIP to the fallen.
A crazy fact considering that the 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft EVER.
Two various aircraft simulating German World War II warplanes of the Me109 type are seen in the skies over Loepten, about 55 kilometers (35 miles) south of Berlin on Thursday, July 19, 2007, the day of the start of shooting of the movie 'Valkyrie'. The movie with Tom Cruise as main actor tells the story of German Col. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, the leader of the failed July 1944 attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler
An undated photo provided by the Studio Babelsberg AG shows U.S. actor Tom Cruise as failed German Hitler assassin Col. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in a scene of the movie 'Valkyrie' of which the shooting began at the Babelsberg Studios near Berlin on Thursday, July 19, 2007

http://www.mindef.nl/actueel/nieuws/...overzicht.aspxThe past week there were two succesfull IED attacks near Tarin Kowt. In both attacks Dutch Bushmaster vehicles were struck. The first on July 9. The passengers of the vehicle remained unhurt and the vehicle suffered only light damage. On July 16 another Bushmaster was hit by an IED. In this attack no soldiers were hurt either though the vehicle was severly damaged. Both vehicles can be repaired in theatre. These recent events show that the protection the Bushmaster offers is of great use in Afghanistan.

Don't get me wrong, maybe it's going to be a good movie, I just don't like Tom Cruise (who does btw?)
What most american ww2 movies don't get right is the way Wehrmacht officers and soldiers talk. In most american movies they talk kind of snappish or arrogant (what's the english word for "preußisch zackig"?) which sounds absolutely ridiculous and that wasn't the reality afaik.
In good movies like "08/15" or "Das Boot" they talk differently and it sounds more realistic.
